+Apache ODE Release Notes
+========================
+
+Apache ODE 1.0 is the first official incubator release of ODE. As 
+such this release notes can only be partial as the current code is a 
+result of several code donations and months of development in the 
+incubator, an exhaustive list is therefore almost impossible to 
+build. So these first release notes are going to be closer to a
+features list.
+
+Apache ODE 1.0 requires Java 1.5.x.
+
+Apache ODE is a WS-BPEL compliant web services orchestration engine.
+It organizes web services calls following a process description
+written in BPEL. Another way to describe it would be a web service
+capable workflow engine.
+
+For more information check the following resources:
+
+ * Our README file.
+ * Our web site: http://incubator.apache.org/ode
+ * The WS-BPEL 2.0 technical committee webinars linked here:
+     http://incubator.apache.org/ode/introduction.html
+
+Apache ODE is an open source project, as such we welcome all your
+help and contributions. To participate and get involved, our mailing
+lists are the best resources to start from:
+    http://incubator.apache.org/ode/mailing-lists.html
+
+Finally here is a non exhaustive but representative features list:
+
+ * Compliant with both BPEL4WS 1.1 and WS-BPEL 2.0.
+ * Deploys both as a WAR in any web container (using an Axis2-based
+ communication layer) or as a JBI service assembly.
+ * Small footprint server suitable for experimentation or 
+ single-server production use.
+ * Compiled approach to BPEL that provides detailed analysis and 
+ validation at the command line or at deployment.
+ * Processes hot deployment and management web service interface (war
+ deployment only).
+ * High level API to the engine that allows you to integrate the core
+ with virtually any communication layer or even embed it.
